Employees at a Racine County bar called a SafeRide vehicle to take an intoxicated man home, but the patron refused to get in the car and instead took off in his own vehicle. Soon afterward, the 46 year-old man rammed into a dump truck on Highway 11 and was thrown from his SUV. He is currently in critical condition at the hospital.

Witnesses say that bar employees and the SafeRide driver tried to block the man’s exit after he managed to get behind the wheel, but he drove at them, nearly running them over. Officers say this is the man’s fifth DWI charge, which makes it a felony offense.
